08:31.20ChoHagBloody hell how do you cock up a roll this badly?
08:31.55ChoHagUseless cow at $shop put the egg in on top of everything else, so of course it didn't actually fit.

09:14.58ChoHagphp
09:15.08zeroXtenna, perl would speed it up and cause less netsplits ;)
09:17.46AndyMillartbh, it's probably someone doing something shit :)
09:18.29ChoHagNever!

09:39.39AndyMillarwow, that was quick
09:39.55AndyMillaris already the top hit on google for "mod_vhs memcached" <3
09:41.30ChoHagYay ruby! Error on line 76 of a 74-line file.

10:05.52halireplacing nis with ldap, is plain openldap the way to go or is there a nicer alternative?
10:06.22hali389 server?
10:06.51ChoHagopenldap is fine if you don't like logs.
10:07.34haliok for redundancy and replication?
10:07.56hali389 has (in the brouchure) some fancy stuff about multi master replication, can i do that with openldap?
10:10.03haliyes openldap sucks
10:17.17ChoHagSeems 389 server is openldap with some suckiness removed.
10:17.42antiphaseYou want to use Kerberos + LDAP instead of plain LDAP or there's no point replacing NIS
10:18.03AndyMillarhali: fedora directory server's pretty good as a front end to it
10:20.27haliyes, kerberos as well
10:20.59halidoesn't fedora directory server (389) based on iplanet code, not openldap?
10:21.03haliisn't*
10:21.31ChoHaghttp://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ#How_is_Fedora_Directory_Server_different_from_OpenLDAP.3F
10:22.05haliyep
10:22.16ChoHagSeems highly incestuous to me.
10:23.17z00daxhali: yeah, they had to also get rid of some management code due to (c) issues. much of it has been rewritten but a few bits are still missing
10:23.24z00daxafaik, all the functionality is there, and some more
10:25.56haliand it's got a windows client so i can kane off user adding duties to the helpdesk

10:30.31morsingLeeds: What phone do you have now?
10:30.52halia telephone?
10:30.52LeedsHTC Magic
10:31.19morsingLeeds: Does it have a keyboard and do you have ssh on it? What's the OS?
10:31.31morsingNo keyboard...
10:31.40morsingAndroid...
10:31.42morsinghmm...
10:31.43Leedsno keyboard, very good ssh client, running Android
10:31.55morsingIt is not annoying not having a proper keyboard?
10:32.26Leedsit would be if I did a lot of ssh on it, but I don't
10:32.36morsingOk, not for me then
10:32.39Leedsthe on-screen keyboard is pretty good for things like short messages, twitter, URLs, etc.
10:33.09morsingWhat's a good smart phone with a qwerty keyboard?
10:33.11wethrinmorsing: Get an N900 :-)
10:33.20morsingwethrin: Not a PDP-11?
10:33.30wethrinThey're a bit less portable
10:33.36morsingThe N900 doesn't appeal to me at all, especially the design
10:33.55morsingwethrin: Do you want to sell you N800?
10:34.38wethrinI have an N810, not an N800
10:34.42wethrinAnd I don't want to sell it, no.
10:34.47wethrinIt doesn't work as a phone, anyway
10:34.48haliplain old blackberry?
10:34.51wethrinIt's purely an internet tablet
10:34.54wethrinRight. Worktime.
10:35.02morsingNever liked the BlackBerry
10:35.08morsingwethrin: Work?!

11:07.08stu_morsing, who knows
11:07.17wethrinHe's at his leaving do
11:07.24morsing:(
11:43.29z00daxbilarh is leaving #gllug ?
11:43.37morsingz00dax: Yes
11:43.41morsing~seen bilarh
11:43.44ibotbilarh <n=henrik@128-177-27-125.ip.openhosting.com> was last seen on IRC in channel #gllug, 5d 19h 4m 26s ago, saying: 'dick_turpin: powm is never worksafe'.
12:26.55ChoHagEmacs has a message on startup - 'If an Emacs session crashed recently, type Meta-x recover-session RET to recover the files you were editing', and I thought to myself "Ooh that's handy. A quick way to open all the files I had loaded before."
12:27.13ChoHagBut no, it doesn't load the files. It gives you a list of the files you had loaded.
12:27.49ChoHagSo, methinks, you can just click/enter on one and the file will load, right?
12:27.50ChoHagWrong.
12:31.10ChoHagYou can't even select the whole buffer and try and find a command to load all the selected files, because after each file is the scratch file associated with it. Even though none of the files had any changes and therefore the scratch files don't actually exist on the filesystem.

14:39.33dick_turpinwethrin: K, sitting comfortably?
14:39.40wethrinReasonably
14:41.43dick_turpinHello we was sent an email from our French office on Monday, I and Karl never got it but others did, we spoke to the sender who forwarded it and we got that can you have a look and see what happened?
14:42.26wethrin"No"

14:48.36ChoHagRuby needs one of those for dummies books called "Ruby for Retards" which stabs the reader in the eyes every time it's opened.
14:51.15dick_turpinlol
14:53.45ChoHagAlso, every language needs an equivalent of  Data::Dumper built in.

14:59.29ChoHagNote the logo on the side of the crane: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8365571.stm
15:19.24wethrinI just saw that
15:19.28wethrinWhat's the logo?
15:19.37ChoHagAccording to The Internet, symbols are Ruby's answer to not bothering with an efficient hash key hashing mechanism?
15:19.40*** join/#gllug stu_ (n=stu@78.33.224.190)
15:19.44ChoHag"Reliable" iirc.
15:19.47wethrinahh
15:19.48wethrinyes
15:19.54antiphase:fo => ad
15:19.59ChoHagYeah them.
15:20.29ChoHagIs there any point to them other than "Saving memory because we're to fucking retarded to write a decent hash implementation"?
15:20.30antiphaseI think Symbols are guaranteed to be unique, this obviating hash key collisions
15:21.03antiphaseThey will cost you a colon key though
15:21.16ChoHagThey're currently costing me my sanity.
15:22.14ChoHagThis chef object is all symbol'd up, but when I pass it through to_hash, which I have to do because @"£$%^"£$"%$ not £$%^£$^ just a blessed hash like in perl which would be so much fucking easier, all the symbols have been converted to strings.
15:24.33antiphaseWhy do you need it as a hash?
15:25.16wethrinWhy're you doing it in ruby?
15:25.27ChoHagBecause I want to merge two together.
15:25.52antiphaseTwo objects?
15:25.53antiphaseo.O
15:25.57ChoHagwethrin: Because chef is written by idiots^W^Win ruby.
15:26.05antiphaseur doin it rong, I suspect
15:26.06ChoHagantiphase: Yeah that's plan B.
15:26.13*** part/#gllug morsing (i=morsing@emil.morsing.cc)
15:26.32wethrinantiphase: He is. He's doing it ruby.
15:26.35ChoHagantiphase: I want to merge $db{$country} with $db{global} into one big %db.
15:27.03antiphase+ ?
15:28.45ChoHagWell, that didn't add them and it didn't combine them.
15:28.45ChoHagIt did do something odd though.
15:29.23antiphaseThere's probably some really easy way of doing it
15:29.38antiphaseIf you think it in terms of Perl, I think you will phail though
15:29.43antiphaseYou need to smoke more crack
15:29.52ChoHagIf chef (probably chef) didn't change the symbols to strings it would.
15:29.58ChoHaghashes have a .merge function
15:30.32ChoHaghash = hash1.merge(hash2) is the same as %hash = (%hash1, %hash2)
